Overstay penalty
RD 3,500 to 7,000 tiered (roughly USD 55-115)A tiered fine applies based on how long the overstay is: roughly RD$3,500 (about USD 55) for 30 days to 3 months, RD$5,600 (about USD 90) for 3 to 9 months, RD$7,000 (about USD 115) for 9 to 12 months, payable at the Direccion General de Migracion at the airport on departure. A real, dated change: as of 1 April 2024, these fines can no longer be paid in cash, only by credit or debit card, or by bank transfer to the Migration Department's Banco Reservas account, specifically to prevent cash being pocketed by individual agents.
